Build a PC tower for an optimum use of Isadora Win version

For an upcoming show, I plan to build a custom PC tower to run with Isadora.

Here are my needs for now : 2 inputs for FHD cameras (wireless with Teradeck kits), to play in 4 outputs (2x2 projections areas), so it means 2 different FHD video streams for 2 separated projection areas made of 2 beamers each.

Possibly with soft-edge, but not sure (cause the "screens" are strand curtains)

For now each couple of beamers is made with identical devices but might be different from the other (with potentially different resolutions as well).

And of course, as we play live captured streams, with the audience quite close from the performers and from the screens, I'd need the less latency possible.

@keftaparty you can use an mst hub to get 7 outputs from an NVIDIA card. No tricks needed and lot cheaper than a data path. Just remember they have display port outputs. Each output will be seen as a discreet monitor.

@maiami i would think to the future a little. Look at investing in a 1080ti, I also went for 4 ssds in raid 0 for media playback, again as future proofing. For capture I got a Blackmagic duo 2, but I hear good things about the new series of magewell cards and there are some multi input options. So far the system I built has been the best system I have owned and performs well. I also switched to hap encoded AVI for playback.

If this is a one off and you are close to the Netherlands I could arrange rental...

I was pointing the Datapath solution as I find it being the most "comfortable one ", even if it's of course more expensive.

I have been talking with @maiami about this project before she posted the question here. They will need to run long SDI cables to the beamers etc...

I find the Datapath solution nice because you get direct SDI outputs, that you can mirror easily to control screens, no adapters, no extra converters etc... Also as the solution needs to be " touring ready ", the datapath is ready to be rack mounted.
